92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Some of the Appellation wines were produced before the whole range was created, as is the case with the classical 2016 Appellation Agrelo Cabernet Sauvignon, from a classical zone in Luján de Cuyo. It was produced with grapes from 30-year-old vines at 950 meters in altitude from a cool El Niño year. It fermented after a three-day cold soak and matured in...

92 pts James Suckling This is really bright and vivid with blazing acidity, combined with ripe and rich fruit. Cooked apples and pie crust. Very flavorful finish. Almost sweet and sour character.

Vinous Media: 92 Points "Bright medium ruby-red. Classic aromatic Cabernet Franc nose offers blackberry, spices and violet, plus a faint hint of creosote. Concentrated, floral and energetic, delivering a wonderfully suave, fine-grained texture and a sexy oak element. The finish features building tannins and rising spicy length. A distinctly serious Cabernet Franc for aging. Vigil told me he...

The Catena Malbec Appellation Vista Flores shows a dark violet color with black reflections. The nose offers ripe, concentrated dark and red fruit aromas with delicate floral notes of lavender and violet, and mocha. The mouthfeel is rich and full with notes of sweet spice and a touch of leather. The finish presents soft, well-integrated tannins with bright, crisp acidity that gives the wine...

91 pts. Wine Enthusiast A deep color and ripe aromas of black fruits and prune convey the friendly conditions of 2018. This Cab is saturated and full in volume. Blackberry, raisin, cassis and chocolate flavors finish warm and chocolaty. If you like your Cabernets ripe and rich, this is in that mold. #72 top 100 Wine Spectator wines 2019

93 points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The textbook 2018 El Enemigo Chardonnay had varietal aromas and notes from the barrel, giving it a very attractive profile. But there is a secret: the barrels develop some flor yeasts in the style of Jerez (or Jura) and this gives the wine a spicy twist, hints of curry and white pepper. The wine is silky and the very high acidity is not noticeable. This...

92 pts. Wilfred Wong of Wine.com COMMENTARY: Making statements, yup! The Finca Decero The Owl and The Dust Devil is what the Argentines are doing. The 2015 Finca Decero The Owl and The Dust Devil—made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Tannat makes a statement that everyone should take note of and compare against their wines. This wine is an excellent value and drinks handsomely...

user review - Interesting nose of citrus, honey, and pear notes. Palate is on the light and crispy side for Chardonnay but is still fairly fruity. A completely 'down the middle' chard in nearly every sense. Has some faint tertiary aromas.

Blackberries, cherries and spices dominate the nose and the palate has great depth. Fresh, tense and electric, this is a fine expression of the chalky soils of Gualtallary, a fresher approach to the grape. Graceful, pure and super bright.

Winemaker Notes The 2018 Gouguenheim Reserva Malbec is a deep purple color with aromas of red fruits, chocolate and coffee beans. Red and black cherry flavors with scents of flowers. A nice French oak on the finish, very complex and yet balanced.

This Cab has a deep purple color with Ripe Plum aromas with a whiff of tobacco, rich and ripe flavors are black plum and cherry notes with ripe rich tannins. Nice long finish here too. Drink now to 2022.

The wine has aromas of spice and black pepper with undertones of chocolate and cherry characters. A soft easy drinking Malbec which, nonetheless, carries a punch. It is well balanced with a good length and long finish. The ripe and rounded tannins allow for a soft and young approach which pleases every time. Drink now to 2022.

Winemaker Notes Fruity medium body, balanced, with very round tannins and very expressive fruit.

93 points - James Suckling This is really succulent and flavorful, yet linear and fresh at the same time. Medium-to full-bodied, tight and focused. Compact. Fine tannins. Delicious aftertaste. Fantastic for the money.

Very nice pear and gentle apricot fruit on the nose with nuances of early summer blossom, but it is quite clean and crisp, without too much buttery character. On the palate this is essence of Viognier, with a full, sweet-edged palate of very ripe pear fruit running through to a juicy nectarine and peachy character, with a crisp, clear mid-palate and enough acidity to keep it fresh. Crowd-pleasing...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 91 Points “The 2016 Natural was produced with 60% Malbec and 40% Syrah from vineyards in Vista Flores that are certified organic and biodynamic. All of the wines ferment with indigenous yeasts, and there are no corrections. The fermentation was in a combination of stainless steel vats, concrete eggs and plastic bins, and the élevage was in 225-liter barriques, oak...
